Very sorry about your mistaken ban. However, I say it over and over, If you plan on instantly rejoining, wait until you are dead before leaving, and this will never happen. The alternative is people constantly F12'ing to avoid geno which is far worse than the occasional misfire, meaning we have to t...

Each shot costs one point.
Each kill earns 7 points.
Flag goes away after 7 seconds.
You could shoot about 8 shots in that time.

The One Bad Flag Stays.
Use it right, and it's a good flag.
It replaced "The Fifty", which was too overpowered.

It does. Flag capture bounties are calculated at time of team-flag PICKUP. Team ratios at time of capture mean nothing. Team ratio at time you PICKED UP the team flag is everything. So leaving while someone is about to capture your flag does not hurt them. Also, If you pickup a team flag and teams a...

Knottyman, the F12 plugin has never been perfect, but it has performed it's intended purpose. Few times do players F12 to keep from being geno'd. At least much fewer than it was in the past. The price we pay is the occasional false positive. It banned me once. If you intend to rejoin, wait until you...

Thank You Kierra.

lkjhg, Do you mean the mountains? This new map file is 98% the work of WHAMMO! I only added a few touches for the MoFo look and feel. I am very happy with the result. He gave me what I asked for, "the same but different", if that makes any sense. But WHAMMO! gave his baby up for adoption, ...

Whammo! Has been using Sketch... the textures will most likely be changed...
keep your eyes open and you might see a preview server soon.

Howabout....
The rabbit is the only one who can jump?

It doesn't count on apocalypse. Too many bounties.

ONE THOUSAND ONE!
That's my post count on the forum.

DeathZone spawn zones removed. though I have never heard anyone articulate what's so great about random spawns. I had to have something new for 2020, and when I added these, it took over an hour for anybody to even notice. I thought, "great" I modified it after a few weeks, and removed it ...

Super Surprised that no one has found the hidden zone. I told exactly one player where it is.
Probably the players who know about it are keeping it a secret.

Trying to figure out how to adjust the zones around the Suntrust Tower.

Some changes...
6 goes to 8
8 goes to 6
7 goes to 9
9 goes to 7

This should make the GM camping extremely difficult, because last week your kills would respawn right in front of you.
Now they spawn behind you.

I don't know how I got promoted to the rank of "Special Forces", I always thought it was more like "He sure is [special] alright". but I hereby nominate iObserve to be promoted to the rank of "Captain Obvious" Right now I'm thinking two things. Die in Box 6, spawns in B...

I Have a new plugin. It allows me to control where you respawn, based on where you die. You probably noticed my first experiment with it last week. I have now refined the concept. Here's how it's set up right now, we will see how it works out. I reserve the right to change it at any time. http://ima...

Abbreviations to fly above zoned flags, indicating which flag is underneath. All the good flags, most plugin flags, no bad flags. They Spin! Fully Drawinfo. Meaning no collisions. If we had billboarding I'd use it. Each abbreviation built with it's center at point 0 0. Move them around with the prov...

There can be only one Apocalypse. Will never be another.
I am working on something for twenty twenty. viewtopic.php?f=66&t=20361&p=177772#p177772
The action there is to allow players to choose their own weapon.... The DMZ is a new concept.

The latest MacOS does not accept 32 bit applications, and i was having other problems with modeltool, and... We're not positive exactly what happened, but it looks like modeltool updates that Trepan added in 2.99 branch got lost somewhere in the last ten years. We think it got lost in the move from ...

It uses Zehra's new plugin the De-Militarized Zone, or DMZ That plugin uses Allejo's 2015 addition of the bz_CustomZoneObject class. The DMZ uses 32 teleporters with 64 custom links. Sixteen flag zones inside the DMZ will allow players to choose which flag they want to use. Trying to speed up play, ...

What can I say? WOW! and Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I always craved fast action, and did what I could to make Dutchrai's map play as fast as I could. The key is really making it exciting when there is a low player count. For any map, If it never makes it past 4 players it never makes it ...

After upgrading to OSX 10.15 Catalina, when playing BZFlag the fan on my late 2013 iMac would shift into overdrive. One sensor reported 191degrees F. A couple guys on IRC gave me the solution.

On the "display settings" panel, set "energy saver" to "vertical sync"

The newer configuration options have made it quite effective against the evolving tactics of those wishing to evade it's effects.

Unown: please answer the private message I have sent you.

Let me see if I can explain this in a way everyone can understand. If you simply add "passable" to your object you get an object that tanks and shots don't interact with. If that's what you want, then it's fine. If you have a high-poly object and you do want coldet interaction, now you nee...
